Compuflex's DC-Server provides a solution that utilizes a set of XML message structures to manage cash handling devices on a non-Windows server. The XML messages are processed by a XML Engine, which handles withdrawals, deposits, statuses, totals, and other XML-based command requests from the Host software and returns related response information.

The Host may assume full control of the cash handling device( including Inventory Management and Cash Device Balancing). Optionally, the Host can focus on the handling of customer and teller transactions (including Deposits, Withdrawals, Teller Vault Buys ,and Teller Vault Sells). In this case, Inventory Management, Cash Device Balancing and related functions could be handled locally at the DC-Server.

The DC-Server is designed for flexibility, allowing you to choose between a dedicated mode and a non-dedicated mode.

Non-Dedicated Mode - In this mode, DC-Server runs as an application on each local station directly connected to a cash device. XML calls from the host are sent to the respective station. Users are presented with Compuflex's preformatted forms for processing such tasks as transaction functions, inventory mangement functions, and balancing functions.

Dedicated mode - Want even more flexibility? In this mode, DC-Server runs as a Windows service on one station that is connected to the cash device. The Host passes XML data to the DC-Server engine, and the DC-Server forwards the information to the appropriate station for processing. Developers are free to use custom forms such as Nominated Transaction screens and Cash Device Balancing screens that are designed and tailored to fit the teller application.
